too bad these cars didnt have ABS brakes! Reply #30 – February 03, 2010, 11:33:51 AM Quote from: oldraven;309087I'm wondering if the 87-88 XR7's had ABS.Nope, they are just Merc's version of the '87-'88 Sport...Dunno if it was clearly stated but the TCs ABS control all four wheels and AFAIK all wheels have independent control...I'm really glad for those of you who can modulate the breaking pressure when someone pulls out in front of you necessitating a panic stop...

Thanks Tom.QuoteDunno if it was clearly stated but the TCs ABS control all four wheels and AFAIK all wheels have independent control...I'm really glad for those of you who can modulate the breaking pressure when someone pulls out in front of you necessitating a panic stop...That's one of those things I consider to be great in theory, but not guaranteed to be what would happen when the fear of hitting a one tonne object is telling you to brake. When you're on a track, your mind is in race mode. On your daily commute, your mind is in cruise mode. Quote Selected
